Jonette's Fireside chat

Happy New Year! We start the new year in the midst of winter and we feel it's chills to the bone.   Sitting near the hearth of a fireplace or simply the furness vent in the kitchen we can warm the flesh.  There is a fire that warms the heart and spirit.  In this episode we hear the crackle of the fire place and feel the warm words Jonette shares with us.   So, Grab a cup of coffee and a woolen throw.  We hope this will be the first of Jonette's fireside chats and more to come, as we push through this cold winter season.

Rev. Chris Eden is the pastor of Otterbein United Methodist Church and Jason Burgess is the Media Specialist for OUMC. These two are happy to present to the congregation and beyond, something to engage the ears and hearts, as well as, mind, body, and spirit. This season will focus on an important mission: OUMC’s collaboration with various city and county organizations to build a much-needed low-barrier emergency shelter for individuals in our community experiencing homelessness. We will chronicle the journey of building this shelter from the ground up. Along the way, you’ll meet neighbors both with and without housing, as well as community leaders who are already working to care for unhoused individuals, providing resources and case management, and addressing the need for affordable housing.

Join us on this journey of compassion and commitment as we adapt our long-standing dedication to this community, now with a new shelter ministry in mind.
